Review:

I live in Miami and because of Hurricane Irma, I had no electricity, cable or internet. I kinda liked the episode. Sarah has only gotten one episode so far so its hard to pin point her personality. Here she is radically different from the mutlitasking genius she was. Here she is cool under pressure and quick thinking with helping the boy Billy. BUT then utterly stupid when she is about to accept a failing grade with the teacher. She should had just told her the truth and how convenient it is that Billy arrived just then. He looks like he belongs in elementary compared to the twenty-somethings. Viera is an interesting character and a nice actress. Looks like the next ep we will see more character development from her and Mick. Even though this episode starts up an arc, it still acts like a standalone filler episode, much like Dino Charge.
